Rotting Corpses in Undine Hut
Posted on June 15, 2000 in Uncategorized
Day 70, Year 538 of the Ascendancy
Early in the morning of the 70th day of winter, I
received a message over the sunstone that the undine hut needed help.
What was peculiar about this message was that the sender was Gurgi, the
invincible God-Halfling of Puddleby. Things had to be pretty ugly in
the undine hut if Gurgi need help. And they were. The moment I entered
the undine hut, I was swarmed by Rotting Corpses, and felled in no
time. Gurgi was badly wounded by the undine, but was surrounded
completely by the decaying bodies. He put up quite a fight, but he too
was eventually felled by the rotting swarm of undine. Things looked
pretty bleak.
Gradually a large rescue party was amassed, and we
were all eventually rescued from the undine hut. Luckily for us, no
Corpse Terrors showed up to slaughter us(a la day 57) and we were able
to return to town unimpeded. These spawns of powerful undine seem to
grow more and more common lately, though, and this does not bode well
for the future of Puddleby.
